Apple to 'ban iPhone gig filming'

By STAFF REPORTER



IPHONE users may soon be stopped from filming at concerts — as a result of new Apple technology.

The leading computer company plans to build a system that will sense when people are trying to video live events — and turn off their cameras.

A patent application filed by Apple revealed how the technology would work.

If an iPhone were held up and used to film during a concert infra-red sensors would detect it.

These sensors would then contact the iPhone and automatically disable its camera function.

People would still be able to send text messages and make calls.

The new technology is seen as an attempt to protect the interests of event organisers and broadcasters who have exclusive rights to concerts.

The companies are often left frustrated when videos of shows appear online via websites such as YouTube which let users watch them for free.

Apple filed for the patent 18 months ago — and it is thought if successful it will help them negotiate deals with record labels to sell content through iTunes.

The bigger issue is, you buy the phone and someone decides to remotely shut a component off when they feel! :roll:

What next, when you drive your car into certain neighborhoods, the manufacture can turn off your sound system and limit your speed?

How will they be able to tell the difference between a rock concert and say something like a band at a family wedding or something or some other free event? :-s

I bet it will be a piece of equipment that will broadcast a kill code, and have a reach that will cover the venue. Along the same of equipment tested in theaters that kills cell phone reception so idiots don't bother the people around them.

Its unreal how many times they've done exactly that, then follow up with some flashy gimmick that makes people buy their crap and keep the company afloat. I'd love to see Apple die.
